Answer:

Hello!!! erz here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

Have you ever seen someone driving? They usually decelerate slowly for a stop signs/traffic lights... But thats the wrong way to do it, Instead you speed right past that light!

(no but seriously the guy/girl above me is correct xD)

Answer:

It depends on the situations. Stopping at a red light you should start decelerating slowly because if you just stop if a car is behind you they may be unprepared for your sudden stop and slam into you. Decelerating quickly when needed to like if you are about to run into a car or someone pulls out in front of you stopping quickly might be none or less damage.
